Love-struck younger brother X career-minded older sister. A careful courtship, with secret love coming true.
Food + sweet romance + rural entrepreneurship
[Country Cooking]
After working overtime for years, He Niaoniao develops a serious stomach condition. She takes three months off and returns to the village where she grew up to recuperate.
When she was working, all she knew how to eat was sandwiches.
Back in the countryside, in spring she picks fresh bamboo shoots in the grove and simmers them into a delicious soup with cured pork. In summer she catches crayfish in a cool stream and makes them two ways, spicy and garlic, enjoying them in the courtyard at night. In autumn, the hairy crabs are plump and full of roe, and they're delicious however you cook them. In winter, she goes out into the snow and finds a few frost-kissed cabbages. Simmered in rich stock, they leave a sweet aftertaste...
And He Niaoniao doesn't have to cook any of these dishes herself.
Whenever she wants something to eat, her personal chef, He Niangui, uses his own clever little tricks to make every dish an easy conquest of her taste buds.
And her three-month vacation gets extended indefinitely...
[Sweet Romance]
When He Niangui smiles, the soft pouches beneath his eyes show. His puppy eyes are innocent and mischievous, like a fizzy orange soda on a summer day: five parts sweet, three parts tangy, and two parts sour. It's a flavor that's easy to get addicted to.
But in terms of family seniority, He Niaoniao is He Niangui's aunt, even though they aren't related by blood. He Niangui's bottle of soda isn't on He Niaoniao's shelf of choices.
She sees him as a little kid. The first time they meet, she says, "Hey, big nephew. Be good and call me Auntie."
Later...
He Niaoniao realizes that He Niangui's soda seems to contain alcohol. It's truly intoxicating.
He Niaoniao is torn. This kid is pretty cute, but no, no, no! He's eight years younger than me!
Later still...
Well, a younger man really is the best!!!
He Niangui only saw He Niaoniao once, when he was thirteen.
But that one glimpse made him wait for her for eight years, longing for her to come of age and for her to return.
After eight years, she's finally back. To everyone else, she has returned with a string of honors.
But He Niangui sees that she's come back with a serious stomach condition.
To heal her stomach, He Niangui becomes her personal chef, coming up with different delicious dishes for her every day.
He hides all the bittersweet feelings of his secret crush in their daily meals.
[Country Entrepreneurship]
He Niaoniao has been the pride of the whole village since she was little. She's beautiful and capable, and after just five years at work, she's earned all kinds of accolades. She's always been a legend in the village. Now that she's back, she realizes it's time to bring her talents home. She decides to get the whole village growing edible chrysanthemums so the villagers can become prosperous.
The villagers: "Chrysanthemums... are edible?"
P.S.
Both leads are each other's first and only love. Sweet romance.
A slow pace, focused on daily life, with a strong rural feel.
Almost all the food in the novel has been tried by the author and is both authentic and delicious.
Straightforward, domineering female employee X polished, mature male boss
Marriage Before Love / everyday food / office romance
To deal with her parents nagging her to get married, Zhang Qianyu hires a temporary actor to play her boyfriend.
When they meet, she discovers that the actor is her boss.
The boss takes his acting job very seriously and is quite convincing. He wins over Zhang Qianyu's entire family.
But...
The actor seems to have gotten a little too deeply into character. After meeting her parents, he actually takes the initiative and proposes marriage.
At first, Zhang Qianyu refuses.
But when he says, "You can grow vegetables in my garden. Plant whatever you like," she hesitates.
Zhang Qianyu doesn't have many hobbies, but she loves growing vegetables and making tasty food. She thinks of the weak, listless seedlings in the foam boxes on her balcony, then imagines the fertile soil in her boss's enormous garden, and finally accepts.
Before this, Zhang Qianyu was an ordinary employee, while Qiao Yi was the CEO of the group. They only ever saw each other in passing at the company's annual gala.
Zhang Qianyu's first impression of Qiao Yi was: handsome, but a little arrogant.
Still, he had good reason to be arrogant. Before turning thirty, he had founded the largest domestic advertising agency in the country. Thanks to his outstanding marketing skills, he had won countless awards at home and abroad. Even the brands working with him, despite being the clients, acted more like vendors in his presence.
Zhang Qianyu knows Qiao Yi only wants a wife in name, and she's happy to enjoy her freedom. After turning the big garden into a little farm, she spends all her free time after work tending to her own patch of land.
They live more like roommates, sometimes going days without saying a word to each other.
Then one day, Qiao Yi corners her at the kitchen door and asks, "What am I to you?"
"The landlord?"
"..." Qiao Yi's eyebrow twitches. "A landlord collects rent every year, at least."
Zhang Qianyu doesn't understand what he means.
Qiao Yi points to the food she's about to take to her room and slowly asks, "Could you have dinner with me?"
Theme: You protect your hometown, and I'll protect you.

I think the collection is more than this! The setting is good, the ideas are great, and the writing is comfortable. I'm going to read my wife's new article. See you in the new article!
Immediately open "So So What [Entertainment Circle]", please collect it~ Daily update at 18:00//Double Strength/Extreme Pull/One Thing Subtracts One Thing/Two-way Redemption/True Fragrance Literature The free and bold heroine with a rich daughter x the cold-faced and devoted celebrity hero 1 Due to a serious back injury, the doctor advised Li Cangxue to give up her dream of becoming a swordsman. It was at this desperate moment that she met Liu Mingnan. Liu Mingnan was playing drums alone on the empty beach. There was no audience, no cheers, just the sea breeze that made the clothes rustle. He was immersed in his own world, his body swaying to the rhythm, tapping hard again and again. The sweat wetted his hair, and he threw it out along with the notes, bursting out with vigorous vitality. It was like a beam of light shining into her darkness. 2 Li Cangxue is the daughter of a wealthy family, and she spends a lot of money chasing stars. She bought satellites, rockets, and asteroid names for Liu Mingnan... But he failed to exchange for a meeting with him. So Li Cangxue gave up the strategy of blindly chasing stars. Directly invest in a new play, fully invest in the production, and let Liu Mingnan join the cast. On the first day after joining the group, Liu Mingnan ran into Li Cangxue in the dressing room. There was a faint sense of alienation on Liu Mingnan's face, and he said casually: "Mr. Li, the melons that are forced are not sweet." Later Liu Mingnan asked for leave from the crew overnight and rushed into Li Cangxue's swimming pool to party. Wearing a full suit, he jumped into the swimming pool and took Li Cangxue out. There was an unconcealable look on his face, and the words came out from between his teeth: "Li Cangxue, the daughter of a wealthy family, was playing in the swimming pool with her male friends. Her boyfriend was the last one to know?" "It's the rumored boyfriend." "The rumored boyfriend is also a boyfriend." Small theater: Liu Mingnan came out of the swimming pool with Li Cangxue in his arms and said to the friend next to him: "Bath towel." The friend casually grabbed a bath towel and threw it towards Liu Mingnan. When the bath towel caught the wind, it unfolded and covered Liu Mingnan and Li Cangxue impartially. The moment the towel fell down to block the two of them, Liu Mingnan quickly stole a kiss on Li Cangxue's lips. Li Cangxue pulled off the bath towel covering herself and looked at Liu Mingnan. Liu Mingnan's expression was as cold as ever, as if nothing happened just now. However, the gentle touch that still remained on his lips made Li Cangxue panicked - wasn't it agreed, but it was just a contract speculation scandal, was it clarified after the show was over?
The heroine of this book is really a bit too stupid. Who wouldn't think twice about her way of getting along with her, especially when she returns home in the next year, she feels a bit humble.
